A classic cocktail for whiskey lovers, the Bourbon Press is a perfect drink for anytime and anywhere. It’s very much an outdoor drink, right down to its appearance: It looks like nothing so much as a glass of lemonade or iced tea. In this case, a drop or two of orange bitters will add a little bit of a twist to this classic flavor combo. The Bourbon Press is the perfect drink to take to the park while you relax with a good book. Screw a lid on that Mason jar and head out there!
